Andrew recasts Godwin's Law for Canadian debaters

Jon sent this link to Bound by Gravity, where Andrew has performed a very useful transformation of Godwin's Law, specifically for Canadian content:

Godwin's Law, Canadian Variant:

As a online discussion about Canadian politics grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving the United States of America or a member of the Republican party approaches one.

Whenever a journalist, blogger, or commenter chimes in with a reductio ad americanum my respect for what they have written immediately drops a few notches, and I am less likely to take their point of view seriously. It is lazy rhetoric, and rarely appropriate. Even when the comparison is valid, the author's point could have been made (usually far more succinctly) using a different choice of words.

Bonus Snark:

Godwin's Law, Conservative/Libertarian Variant:

As a online discussion about left-versus-right politics grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving the USSR or Stalin approaches one.
